RCI purifiers utilize a three-stage purification process that uses two well-known fuel separation principles, centrifugal and coalescence. The result? Removal of up to 99.8% of free water and up to 95% of other heavy contaminants, leaving you with clean, fresh, reliable fuel to keep your engine running at its best, not to mention added peace of mind. Our patented technology keeps your fuel clean, preserves fuel quality, and extends the life of your equipment.
How it Works
As the fuel enters the purifier, it flows downward in a circular movement through an internal baffle system entering the lower chamber of the purifier.
Stage 1
The velocity of the fuel slows down considerably, allowing any free water droplets and other contaminants to maintain their mass and not emulsify with the fuel. These impurities accumulate and remain at the bottom of the purifier until purged.
Stage 2
The fuel migrates through three perforated baffle plates to stop any particulates and attract, by way of coalescence, any water droplets still remaining.
Stage 3
The fuel passes through our patented coalescence medium to ensure that any small water droplets or particulates will be coalesced out of the fuel stream. Only the clean fuel rises to the top, providing a cleaner-burning fuel for quicker ignition and better combustion. Consistent clean fuel helps to increase the engine’s dependability, power and efficiency.
On the FP 50, FP 80, FP 400 and FP 700, a heating element is optional to preheat the fuel. This process helps liquefy the paraffin, providing better lubrication for the entire fuel system, including the pump and injectors. This heating element eliminates any wax or gelling problems.
The RCI Technologies purifier is simple to install and provides “The Permanent Solution” to fuel system management and control. RCI Technologies also offers an optional water sensor kit with an alarm signal, indicating purging is required.
